GREEN TOMATO RICE RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Note: To peel the green tomatoes, drop into boiling water for 3 minutes and then use a vegetable peeler. 1. In a medium saucepan, saute the bacon over medium heat until crisp; remove to paper towels to drain. 2. In 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings, saute green onion whitess for 1 minute. Add green tomatoes and saute for 1 minute longer. Add garlic and jalapeno pepper; saute for another 30 seconds. 3. Add the chicken broth, rice, thyme, pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Bring to a boil. Stir, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. 4. Stir in Parmesan cheese just before serving, if desired. Sprinkle with the cooked bacon and green onions. Serves 4.

GREEN RICE WITH TOMATOES, EGGS, AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Blend herbs, oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, and 2 Tbsp. almonds in a blender or food processor until a smooth pesto-like sauce forms. Taste and add more lime juice, garlic, and/or salt if desired-you want the sauce to be well seasoned.
• Toss rice with 3/4 cup sauce in a medium bowl. Add avocado and scallion and gently toss again.
• Divide rice mixture among shallow bowls. Top each with egg and tomato, dividing evenly. Drizzle some remaining sauce over. Top with remaining 2 Tbsp. almonds.

SPICED TOMATO RICE

Steps:

• Place the rice in a pan with the stock and passata. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 10-12 mins. Take off the heat, stir in the cumin and chilli powder, then cover and rest for 5 mins more. Fluff with a fork and serve scattered with parsley.

GREEN RICE (ARROZ VERDE)

Steps:

• Rinse the rice a few times, until the water that drains from it runs almost completely clear. Set aside to drain well. Put the onion, poblano, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, parsley and salt in a food processor with a splash of the measured stock or water if needed, to help the blades catch the ingredients and break them down. Purée until smooth.
• Heat oil in a medium, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, then add the rice and stir well. When the grains are dry and toasted, and some are starting to color, about 5 to 10 minutes, add the mixture from the blender along with the remaining stock or water.
• When the liquid comes to a rolling boil, give it a good stir, scraping at the bottom of the pot. Put a lid on the pot and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the rice rest for another 15 minutes before opening the lid. The green purée will have settled on the top of the rice, so gently mix it in as you stir and aerate the rice with a spatula. Taste, season with salt and serve with a wedge of lime.
